Space shuttle Endeavour fired its engines at 9:14 p.m. EST for the deorbit burn. The STS-130 crew is now headed home for a landing at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. at 10:20 p.m.
It never gets old for me.

Dang! Just in time to catch the rollout! It's safely down anyway.

Perfect landing! Only thing better than landing at night is a night launch
Such a shame the program is ending.
FWIW, my wife's cousin who has worked at NASA for 10-12 years now (she was the Solid Rocket Booster program manager) is officially unemployed, as is her husband (an Air Force Major) who also works at NASA, as of the end of March.... They had both been moved to the the Constellation program that includes the Orion crew exploration vehicle and Ares launch vehicles since the shuttle program was ending.
Those would be the programs somebody in Washington shut down Feb 1st.....
